This course requires a minimum of 20 days or 100 hours of student teaching in both el­ementary and secondary ESL classrooms, under the supervision of the cooperating teacher and a Touro professor. This experi­ence will allow student teachers to apply their knowledge in actual classroom set­ting, as well as gain experience with a va­riety of developmental levels. Student teachers will attend seminars throughout the semester, maintain a weekly reflective journal, and submit accumulative portfolio documenting professional growth. Prereq­uisites: EDDN 636, EDDN 637, EDPN 671, and EDPN 673, and permission of the Chair.
